Editor 4
June 26, 2019
A beauty pageant winner is accusing Gambia’s former president of raping her four years ago.
The young woman is one of several now coming forward and accusing Yahya Jammeh of sexual violence while he was in power.
Jammeh fled into exile in the reclusive nation of Equatorial Guinea in 2017 after losing the presidential election and initially refusing to step down.
The young woman, Fatou Jallow, plans to testify before Gambia’s truth and reconciliation commission that is investigating crimes committed during Jammeh’s rule.
Human Rights Watch described Jammeh as a sexual predator who lavished gifts on young women and their families before violently attacking them.
The human rights organization says it will take international pressure for Jammeh to be extradited from Equatorial Guinea.

December 14, 2021
Barrow won the December 4 poll with 53 per cent of the vote, well ahead of Darboe who got about 28 per cent.
The election was the first in 27 years without despotic former president Yahya Jammeh and was seen as a test of the tiny West African nation’s fragile democracy.
The day after the poll, Darboe and two other candidates said they did not accept the results because the vote count took longer than expected and because of alleged problems at polling stations.
They have yet to provide any evidence of wrongdoing.
The Spokesman for Darboe’s United Democratic Party UDP, Almamy Taal, told the press that after executive meeting with lawyers they have decided to file a petition at the Supreme Court.
Taal did not set out the grounds of the complaint.
Election observers from the African Union said the election was conducted in line with international standards and European Union observers praised the transparency of the voting and counting processes.
